Up to 20 Visiting Fellows per year work individually and collectively, with each other and with Durham colleagues. Visiting Fellows participate in a wide range of events, from public lectures to seminars and workshops.

Through its websites and newsletter, Transformations the Institute connects Durham not only across departments and faculties, but also with a global College of Fellows. Additionally, the Institute offers a top-level forum of public debate, enabling key-decision makers to discuss pressing policy issues with academic experts in an intellectually stimulating and unrestricted manner.
